Cuke Cooler
It’s August… which just means More Summer here in Texas. It’s oppressively hot, which calls for refreshing drinks like this one. Think cucumber margarita, subbing out tequila for poítin. I love tequila but the clean and slightly funky taste of poítin works beautifully with cucumber and makes for an incredibly refreshing drink.
If you are interested in trying some award-winning poítin (Mad March Hare), please see the link in my bio, which includes a discount (commission received). Also— I’m trying out some new shots in the new house, so let me know what y’all think!!
Recipe
2oz poítin (@drinkmadmarchhare_)
0.5oz triple sec (@cointreau_us)
0.5oz simple syrup
0.75oz lime juice
2in cucumber segment
Soda water (optional)
Muddle cucumber in syrup. Add remaining ingredients (minus soda) and shake with ice until chilled. Fine strain into highball glass, fill with ice, add soda water if desired, and garnish with mint and cucumber. Cheers!!
